Free Checking FAQs
Banking is personal business. And we've made it our mission to give our members a banking experience that puts their needs first.
Do I have to open an account at a branch location?
Nope, you can open an account online in minutes! However, if you would like to come in, we would love to meet with you and help you get set up.
Is my money safe?
Yes! We also want to reassure you that your money is safe and is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which is equivalent to the FDIC for banks.
